Dixie Mint Lemonade Recipe
6 oz. General Dixie Mint Vodka
6-8 lemons
1 cup mint leaves (packed and chopped)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Yields 4 servings
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, bring water, sugar and mint to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until sugar dissolves. This is your mint simple syrup; let it cool in a bowl.
2. Roll each lemon over your cutting board to help release the juice. Juice the lemons the until you have one cup of fresh lemon juice.
3. In a pitcher, stir together the cooled syrup, lemon juice and 4 cups of water. Taste and adjust, adding a few tablespoons of sugar if it needs to be sweeter, or the juice of a 1/2 lemon if it needs more tartness.
4. Add in Dixie Mint Vodka.
5. Fill sugar-rimmed glasses with ice, then pour mixture over top. Garnish with fresh mint or sliced lemons.
